Typical record mode display with onscreen overlays for battery condition (both graphical and in minutes remaining), image size (note that the image quality shown here as "fine" is not available on the FD87, these screens were captured from the FD92), number of pictures remaining and a graphical representation of the space left on the Memory Stick. The onscreen menu has been enabled across the bottom, see below for the menu options.

This is the screen display when set to Movie mode. Image size is 320x240 and we have the recording time set to the maximum which is 15 seconds per clip. The green STBY changes to a red REC after you press the shutter button.

(Note: the menu animations came from the MVC-FD92 which is very similar to the FD87 with the exception of the 1472x1104 image size)
